Description
The CAO Surplus Shade Toro is an excellent choice for cigar enthusiasts seeking premium quality at an everyday price. Measuring 6 x 50, this Toro delivers a smooth, leisurely smoking experience that showcases CAO’s reputation for consistent craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Honduras, the cigar features a silky Honduran Connecticut wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and Dominican Olor long-fillers, creating a balanced blend that is approachable for both newcomers and seasoned smokers.
From the first draw, the Surplus Shade Toro offers creamy notes of cedar, toasted nuts, light pepper, and subtle natural sweetness. Hints of vanilla and coffee develop as the cigar progresses, while its mellow-to-medium strength ensures an easy-going smoke without overwhelming the palate.
